Hi!

I've just finished pixeling a new avatar image for me, using a webcam shot as reference:



and my pixelart:



I don't pretend to make a 100% translation, but an accurate portrait

The thing that bothers me before calling it done is the way i'm using dithering.

I'm using 25 colors, and i'm sure i could make it with less colors and better dithering...

any tips or recommendations ( C&C is also accepted :-) ) ?

Thanks!

Likeness is actually pretty good :)
Usually the norm is not to dither flesh because it gives too much of a texture to it. Check out the http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/2302/Pixelation_Portraits.htm - pixelation project to see how others have treated portraits using this style. Notice the use of contrast which yours lacks a bit off.

Just in case its for usage here. PJ avatars are 64x64 or smaller, k.
